Interesting it will be indeed...
Health Hazzard reckons 25,000 a day could be on the cards in NSW alone. Not sure if that is just scare mongering to get the boosters up - $$$$$? Vaccine efficacy is 90%+, but could be as low as 70% according to some reports. Let's be generous and give it 95% against hospitalisation. 5% x 25,000 = the maths is not looking too good.

Lol Health Hazzard. We have to get over positive case numbers. The only numbers that matter are hospital and deaths. NSW will inform the rest of the country. Even in the ACT we just don't give a **** at the moment

NSW/VIC
NSW records a higher 2,482 cases in the current period and the 10-day average growth rate decreases to 1.2192 (from 1.2620) while the actual line remains well above the predictive trend line. That’s also the highest daily case numbers recorded in NSW. VIC records 1,502 cases in the current period and the 10-day average growth rate decreases to 1.0193 (from 1.0306) while the actual line remains below the predictive trend.

Data valid as at 00:00 GMT December 17th 2021.
Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting. 3,821 new cases for Australia (a new record) and 8 deaths so the CMR is 0.879%. 69 new cases for NZ and 1 death so CMR is 0.369%. The UK had 92,503 cases yesterday and 111 deaths for a CMR of 1.314%. That sets another new daily case high. 147,052 new cases in the USA yesterday and 1,523 deaths sees CMR at 1.604%. Other notable points: Oceania passes 400k cases; Europe passes 80M cases; Europe sets a new daily case high with 432,063; San Marino (407); Australia (3,821); Denmark (11,194);and The UK (92,503) .... recorded new highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day. Canada, Kenya, Zambia and Bolivia move above the 90th percentile for the 10 day period and no countries drop below.

Being an optimist I guess that we're doing better than Denmark which has a population of about 6 million.....

What keeps striking me, is the emphasis on making rules vs encouraging consideration/sense. Dr Khorshid is at it again in the ABC news today, the other day it was Professor McLaws, and Dr McMullen.

Another day of big numbers for NSW, along with heavy testing. Almost twice that of Victoria in each quantity.
My first experience of “drive through” Covid testing (Clinical Labs’ Hunters Hill venue, due to closeness and good reviews); whether it’s the heat, the time of year, location, pandemic fatigue - whatever - candidates included a good quotient of the self-absorbed. I was able to be put down as “urgent” for results, due to upcoming air travel - this may yet trip me up if volume of test material means results are delayed. But honestly, as I left the testing station a full hour after first joining the queue at 0821H, there was a strong sense of “Is it really worth the hassle?” turning in my head. |

NSW/VIC
NSW records a higher 2,566 cases in the current period and the 10-day average growth rate decreases to 1.2183 (from 1.2192) while the actual line remains well above the predictive trend line. That’s also another highest daily case number recorded in NSW. VIC records 1,240 cases in the current period and the 10-day average growth rate decreases to 1.0080 (from 1.0193) while the actual line remains below the predictive trend. We might have to consider adding South Australia. Last week, they had 39 cases but this week (ending yesterday) they had 221.

Stop testing...win...win...... On another note...don't be dumb...don't queue up like lambs to the slaughter in the drive throughs.. Get the 13 dollar test from the chemist. If it's positive, isolate, but don't tell the govt about it..only get the PCR test after you test negative on the home test....you have been warned...it will stay on your health record...

Is it too early for any studies to be published re 'long-Covid' with respect to vaccines? Like I know being vaccinated makes me less likely to develop Covid, but if you are vaccinated and yet still contract Covid are you less likely to suffer from long-Covid than an unvaccinated person that contracts Covid?
I know being vaccinated makes me less likely to get long-Covid as I am less likely to get Covid in the first place; I am talking percentage-wise - are there studies with stats that show for eg. 33% of unvaccinated that contract Covid go on to suffer from long-Covid, whereas 15% of vaccinated that contract Covid suffer from long-Covid? Or too soon to know, depends on variants, etc? |

I don't really understand why everyone was forced to get the Vax, and show proof of doing so, but only for a limited time.
Pretty frustrating. We got it to continue working and maintain some freedoms, which are now available to all again suddenly, vaxxed or not. One day there's 100% mask compliance enforced by big tough security guards, and checking your phone for the certificate, next day it's maybe 20% with a mask, and no enforcement of check in or the proof of Vax cert. Feels like a slap in the face to everyone who followed the rules. But as per usual, the laziest, dumbest, most selfish few in society always end up getting a free ride |
